PSA welcomed them and even sold them flight and operations training. The New York Times wrote in 1971 that Southwest Airlines President Lamar Muse, "says frankly-and repeatedly-that Southwest Airlines has been developed from its inception around the ideas that have proven to be successful for Pacific Southwest Airlines." "We don't mind being copycats of an operation like that," referring to a visit he and other Southwest executives made to PSA as they assembled their operating plans. A committee including the same person who had selected hostesses for Hugh Hefner's Playboy jet selected the first flight attendants, females described as long-legged dancers, majorettes and cheerleaders with "unique personalities." Southwest Airlines and Herb Kelleher dressed them in hot pants and go-go boots. Early flights used the same "Long Legs And Short Nights" theme for stewardesses on board typical Southwest Airlines flights. Southwest Airlines founder Herb Kelleher studied California-based Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) and used many of PSA's ideas to form the corporate culture at Southwest. The Official Airline Guide for October 15, 1972, lists 61 flights a week each way between Dallas Love and Houston Hobby, 23 flights a week each way between Dallas Love and San Antonio and 16 flights a week each way between San Antonio and Houston Hobby no flights operated on Saturdays. Service between Houston Hobby Airport (HOU) and Dallas Love Field and between Houston Hobby and San Antonio began on November 14, 1971. Southwest began scheduled passenger service on June 18, 1971, on two routes: between Dallas Love Field and Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and between Dallas Love Field and San Antonio with three Boeing 737-200s. changed its name to Southwest Airlines Co. Supreme Court declined to review the case without comment, vindicating Kelleher's opinion on the limits of federal market regulation. The Texas decision became final on December 7, 1970, when the U.S. Air Southwest prevailed in 1970 when the Texas Supreme Court upheld Air Southwest's right to fly within Texas. Three airlines ( Braniff, Trans-Texas Airways and Continental Airlines) started legal action that took three years to resolve. Kelleher asserted that by staying within Texas, price controls and market regulations imposed by the federal Civil Aeronautics Board would not apply, and the airline could undercut competitors' prices. by Lamar Muse, Rollin King and Herb Kelleher to fly within the state of Texas. Southwest Airlines began with the March 15, 1967, incorporation of Air Southwest Co. Boeing 737-700 at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas in 2008

Also, let me know know who you would like to see next by voting on in the comments on the three choices of commander listed at the end of the video. Come see how they've upgraded this precon. Let me know if the comments below if you agree with my choices and/or what you would add to the deck instead. ragavan nimble pilferer - EDHREC Divine Convocation - Upgrade Guide Apby Scrap Trawlers The Scrap Trawlers are ready to take Divine Convocation, from March of the Machine, up a few notches. From there, supplemented by various other spell stealing effects we’ll be running alongside our commander, we’ll be able to continually raid our opponent’s deck for more and more resources until they fall to their own decks design. And lastly, to maximize our chances of casting the spells we hit off our opponents for free, we’ll be running a wide variety of artifact token generators – ensuring we’ll always have a nice stockpile of artifact tokens available to us at all times to so we can cast our opponents spells at no cost to ourselves. Ragavan Cedh Commander / EDH Competitive Land Destruction Mono-Red Pirate Stax. Then to increase its frequency, we’ll be running both means to copy out commanders ability as it triggers, as well as ways to just copy our commander via non-legendary clones to ensure we’re trigger them as many times as possible. 104: Valduk vs Raphael vs Jor Kadeen vs Rashmi and Ragavan MTG EDH. On the accuracy side, we’ll be running a fair number of ways for us to see and/or manipulate or opponent’s topdecks to take the guesswork out of our commander ability and ensure we always hit the best option(s).

While on their way back to the ridge, Claire learns Marsali (Lauren Lyle) and her baby survived the previous ambush and Wendigo is nowhere to be found. Not able to point out which of the men participated in the gang rape, Jamie has all the remaining men killed but spares Lionel’s life for questioning. Claire chooses to honor her oath to not take a life. Jamie and company are able to defeat Claire’s captors and round up the remaining survivors for Claire to have her revenge on the men that brutally assaulted. Jamie (Sam Heughan) fills them in on recent events and Roger and Ian accompany him to retrieve Claire and wage an attack on Lionel’s camp. As the Mackenzies and Young Ian (John Bell) reach the big house, they notice that the cross has been lit which is an indication of trouble. Meanwhile, it is revealed that while Roger (Richard Rankin), Brianna ( Sophie Skelton) and Jemmy traveled through the stones, they were thinking of “home” and find themselves in the 1770s once again. To dissociate from the assault, Claire escapes mentally into a dream – seeing what seems to be a 70s version of her close family coming together for Thanksgiving dinner. Claire, gagged and tied up to a tree, is violently sexually assaulted by several men including Lionel. Things take a dark turn when Lionel and his men set up camp. Unfortunately, Wendigo only provides little help as he fears the consequences of his action. While in captivity, Claire meets another time-traveler named Wendigo Donner and promises to get him back to his time if he can save her. 'Outlander' Stars Caitríona Balfe & Sam Heughan Tease Season 7 & Final Season Full Of "Great Storytelling" Starz Through continual renewal of its sources of artificial illumination, the Tower has benefited from the latest innovations in lighting equipment from the very beginning – from gas to electricity, incandescent lamps to neon, passing from sodium to high-pressure, and most recently LEDs.īecause the Tower’s usual equipment was not designed for special illuminations (colors, flags, messages), these generally require external lighting to be brought in for each occasion. Throughout the course of its existence, the Eiffel Tower has been host to lighting effects of a festive nature. Sparkling Moments in the History of the Eiffel Tower The lights no longer sparkle at midnight and 1am. The sparkling lights are superimposed over the golden lighting, they bring the monument to life for 5 minutes every hour on the hour once the Tower has been lit up.Īs part of the City of Paris emergency energy saving plan launched in September 2022, the Eiffel Tower lights will now be switched off completely from 11.45pm. This beacon resonates the image of Gustave Eiffel's Tower itself as a universal and symbolic landmark. The lamps are cooled to prevent overheating and a heating system is activated when the temperatures drop below zero Centigrade whilst the lights are off. The xenon 6000 watt lamps were chosen for their longevity, around 1,200 hours. Since their rotation sweep is 90°, they are synchronized to form a double beam in a cross that pivots around 360°. They are operated by automatically piloted computer programs. The beacon, sending out two light beams with a reach of 80 kilometres, is composed of 4 "marine" motorised projectors. On 31 December 1999 at the approach of midnight, the entire world will discover the beacon and the Tower's sparking lights. In 2020, the 28 projectors that illuminate the steps in the outstretched portions of the four pillars will be replaced to reduce the installed power by 80%. In December 2019, the four 2000W projectors that had illuminated the antenna since 1985 were replaced by LED versions that are 10 times less powerful and consume 10 times less energy. The last operation took place in spring 2019.Ĭontrary to popular beliefs, the Tower’s nightly illumination, it’s golden glow, only represents about 4% of the monument’s annual energy expenses. Since that time and every four years, a team of SETE technicians has replaced the 336 projector bulbs that wrap the Eiffel Tower in golden light every evening. Their improved output of light preserves all the beauty of the overall appearance. an energy consumption saving of around 40%. In 2004, they were replaced by projectors with an electrical power of 600 watts as opposed to the previous 1KW, i.e. This is activated upon nightfall by the sensors. The projectors are turned on in under 10 minutes. It brings other birds out of the trees to "mob" the predator and chase it away. Birds make that call when they see a perched predator. Greene demonstrates by pressing his lips to the back of his hand and making an irritating sound like screeching tires. "It's very high frequency," he explains, "and it's hard to locate." Like any self-respecting birder, Greene can imitate this alarm call exactly. It warns other birds by making a soft, high-pitched seet call. A small bird spots a dangerous predator - let's say a hawk or owl - flying around. Recently, a biologist using a similar technique discovered something no one had imagined - that these bird warnings are adopted, and passed along, by completely different types of animals.Īt his lab at the University of Montana, biologist Erick Greene explains how this works. He was just 40 years old.Įven after Parker's death, his technique of provoking birds to reveal their behavior stuck with other scientists. Parker was doing just such a bird census in Ecuador when he died in a plane crash in 1993. The only good census that's been done in a rain forest was done that way - by mapping counter-singing pairs." You can map all the territories in a forest eventually. Then I move farther on until I get the next pair. I can quickly draw those territories on a map. "I get a pair here, a pair there - a pair behind me there. "What I try to do is arouse them all," he said. "If you are outside their territory and you play back a song," Parker said in 1991, "the birds will come up only to the edge of their territory." Perched on the boundary, he noticed, the pair would start to vocalize - in essence, shouting, "Hey, get out of here!" That confused the pair - they seemed to think that outsiders were threatening to invade. So, how did he provoke them? Parker recorded the calls of a mating pair, then played their own song back to them. Ted Parker, a pioneering ornithologist who died in 1993, has been called the "Mozart of ornithology." He memorized the sounds of more than 4,000 species, and used recordings of calls to get birds to reveal their territories. If he could provoke the pairs - challenge the birds somehow to defend their little patch of forest - they would reveal their location and the extent of their territory. Here's how: Parker realized that each mating pair of birds has its own territory. Who lived in which part of the canopy? And how do you find that out, if you can't see them? He wanted to know how birds divide up their territory. "And if you don't know their voices, there's no way you could come to a place like this and come up with a good list of canopy species." "These birds spend all their time in that foliage that's 130 to 140 feet above the ground," Parker explains on the tape. He used this knowledge and his tape recorder to quickly take an extensive and detailed census of birds in the tropics. He'd memorized the sounds of more than 4,000 bird species. Some called Parker the Mozart of ornithology. "I spent hours moving the needle back and forth, and back and forth, and my mother would say, 'You are going to destroy the record player.' " "My parents bought me records of bird recordings that were made by people at Cornell," Parker told the NPR team in 1991. His skill in using his ears to investigate the world was legendary. Parker was an ornithologist with Conservation International who spent months at a time in the tropics, lugging around a portable tape recorder. "Up here in the canopy, these are the hardest birds to detect," he told an NPR Radio Expeditions team in 1991 in the Bolivian rain forest. Let's fast forward 45 years and talk to Ted Parker, who inherited Allen's gift for recording birds, but added a twist. Ornithologist Arthur Allen of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology was a pioneer, hauling bulky recording gear into the wilderness in the 1940s and actually cutting acetate records of bird song on-site. In a series called Close Listening: Decoding Nature Through Sound, Morning Edition has been profiling scientists who explore the natural world by listening to it.īut sometimes listening isn't enough - scientists have to record animals and even talk back to them to figure out what they're saying. Squirrels closely mimic bird warning calls and help spread the alarm through the forest that hawks, owls or other predators are nearby. Xiaomi Wear app screenshot of the walking session, which has more details. It also comes with stress monitoring, breathing exercises for those who wish to use such features. The band will also reflect when your period is about to happen, ovulation days, etc. One can add the dates of their last period and average cycle duration to the Xiaomi Wear app to see the prediction. The fitness band can also track menstrual cycles for women as well. For instance, when I slept at 1.30 am recently, and woke up early, the band has marked that day as ‘lack of sleep’ and I would wholly agree 100 percent. The band’s sleep tracker remains accurate as always, one of the best in the business. I have not been able to take it for a swim, but I often wore it during baths, and it continues to work fine. The fitness band is swim-proof and water-resistant. (Image credit: Shruti Dhapola/Indian Express) The Mi Band 6 remains accurate on step count as always. I also used the band to track indoor cycling sessions, and while it does not show any distance, the calories burnt were in line with what my cycle was showing. But the band was accurate when it came to distance, elevation during the cycle ride. I also took the Mi Band 6 for my outdoor cycle rides, and here’s where I faced some issues. Though it usually detected around 5-10 minutes I had started walking. And the band figured out when I had started walking, as the auto-detect feature worked spot on. The band’s step count was bang on, especially on days where I knew I had not been very active. I did not notice any jump in steps (maybe 3-4) while sitting in a car. The two three times I used this feature, my blood oxygen levels were usually 98-99 per cent, so I’m guessing this works accurately.Īs always with steps, the Mi Band 6 remains accurate, and if I may say so, a bit stingy. Just make sure you wear the band tightly and stay still when measuring these. The band’s setup now includes a SPO2 monitor for tracking blood oxygen levels. (Image credit: Shruti Dhapola/ Indian Express) Data indoor cycling session is displayed on the Mi Band 6. It is also capable of auto-detecting six fitness modes, including walking, running, cycling, indoor rowing, and elliptical. Mi Band 6 of course connects with Mi Fit app and now the Strava app as well. Users can go into the Xiaomi Wear app and turn on phone notifications, app notifications, etc for them to appear on the device.

The AMOLED display with 326 pixels per inch (PPI) and a maximum brightness of 450 nits is legible even in harsh sunlight. When I first saw the Mi Band 6 and it was hard not to notice the larger screen. Finally, it adds an important change in the form of support for blood oxygen monitoring, which has become a much sought-after feature in the time of Covid-19.īut do the changes justify the higher price? And what makes the Mi Band 6 a better pick compared to the countless fitness trackers and watches in the market? Let’s take a look in our review Xiaomi Mi Band 6 review: What’s good? Second, it now comes with a bigger 1.56-inch display compared to the 1.1-inch display on the earlier band. For one, it has a higher price tag at Rs 3,499 compared to the Rs 2,499 tag of the Mi Band 5. The latest Mi Band 6 builds on this with some big changes. When it comes to tracking daily steps and basic fitness, the Mi Band remains one of the most reliable options in the market.

Although calcium is an essential nutrient during pregnancy, it can decrease iron absorption. If you take iron supplements with orange juice, avoid the calcium-fortified variety. To enhance the absorption of iron from plant sources and supplements, pair them with a food or drink high in vitamin C - such as orange juice, tomato juice or strawberries. The iron from animal products, such as meat, is most easily absorbed. In some cases, your health care provider might recommend a separate iron supplement. Prenatal vitamins typically contain iron.

Should you buy the Lego Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon? It’s very difficult to find fault in something that you’ve stared at through the Lego shop window for five years like Charlie Bucket. Honestly, all of the complaints with this set are minor nitpicks. There are only a very small number of stickers which is appreciated, but for one of the most expensive sets ever it feels like there probably should have been no stickers at all and more printed tiles – it’s a minor nitpick though. Lego Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon review: Design You’re not likely to build many Lego sets that are quite this staggering in your life, so it’s certainly worth taking the time to savor the experience. It’s not a race, so feel free to open a bag, work on it for a bit, and then relax. Set it up somewhere so that you can go back to it whenever you want. This isn’t a build you should, or really can, rush. The mix of reds, tans, and dark grays emulate the colors of the Millennium Falcon perfectly. These Technic pins and other pieces make a foundation into which other sections are plugged in, which not only makes the ship feel very stable but for sections of the ship that feature interiors, making them easier to access.Īt other times, the huge number of pieces are used to flesh out the exterior of the ship, replicating the rough, mechanical look of the ship perfectly. Part-technic set, the core of the Millennium Falcon is a rock-solid foundation of bricks that make it feel heavy, sturdy, and crucially, possible to move without feeling like it’s all going to break apart.Ī lot of these pieces early in the build are essentially the infostructure for the various panels that make up the roof and bottom of the ship. In order to pull off the incredible design, the detail, and the scale, the set is as much about building a solid frame within the Falcon as it is decorating the outside with the hundreds of small parts to give the ship it’s weathered effect. This isn’t just a normal Lego set but bigger. Not only is it probably the most visually striking Lego release of all time, but it’s also one of the most complex. In many ways, the UCS Millennium Falcon feels like the final boss of Lego. However, it wasn’t until 2017 that Lego reintroduced the icon to the UCS line with the new UCS Millennium Falcon and it’s been the holy grail for Star Wars fans ever since. It even has an older Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) model which was long sought after by collectors for years. In fact, at the time of writing, there are three different versions of the Falcon in production, and since the first one 20 years ago, it’s one of the most remade sets ever. Then, customize it with our amazing LEGO LED Lights to make it look fascinating.It’s been replicated in Lego many times. The galaxy is yours as you build the LEGO Millennium Falcon 75192 set.

LEGO Millennium Falcon 75192 gives you the outer space feeling and more. It does throw a spark any time I plug it in, but when I googled that it seems it’s to be expected because there’s no way to plug in a refrigerator that doesn’t immediately pull electricity (no “off” button). The refrigerator is like a month old, so that seems really odd. Results were normal, but it meant I took a very close look at the plug, which appears to be slightly damaged. With my troubleshooting today, something I came across in my reading on appliance repair forums suggested to check the (unplugged) outlet with a multimeter. Something did change how I’m viewing the inconsistencies between blank face and duplex gfci with this refrigerator. Also tried power strip into outlet and refrigerator in power strip, because who knows at this point. Meanwhile the refrigerator on a countertop gfci (different circuit) isn’t tripping at all, even though there are other things running on that circuit. I’ve had a power strip plugged in for like an hour powering a lamp and a power tool charger. Got the new Leviton blank face and the problem is still the same. I've tested the line wires, wires when connected to gfci, load wires coming off gfci (before connecting to receptacle), and receptacle (after connecting load wires) with the Fluke and everything is 120v neutral to hot and 120v ground to hot.Įdit: Moving too fast. After about 10-15 seconds it changes to "Fault, open ground, >30v" but I looked into that and apparently that's normal? Outlet tester says it's correctly wired and when I test from outlet tester it trips instantly. I will try that - thanks for the suggestion!įor testing, I have both an outlet tester and Fluke T-5 600. I haven't actually tried a GFCI receptacle downstream from the blank face. I also tried a (new) duplex receptacle downstream from blank face and it also tripped. I have two (new) single receptacles and tried both downstream of the blank face GFCI (and tried two blank face GFCIs, one Leviton and one Aida).
